What is a word meaning more lean and muscular?

There isn't one single perfect word, but here are some options depending on the specific nuance you want to convey:

General terms:

* Toned: This is a popular and general term that emphasizes the combination of leanness and muscle definition.

* Defined: Similar to "toned," this emphasizes the visible muscle definition.

* Muscular: This emphasizes the presence of muscle, but doesn't necessarily imply leanness.

* Athletic: This suggests a body that is fit and capable of athletic activity, often implying both leanness and muscle.

More specific terms:

* Ripped: This implies extreme muscle definition and very low body fat.

* Cut: This implies leanness with visible muscle definition, often used to describe bodybuilders.

* Sculpted: This emphasizes the aesthetically pleasing shape of the muscles.

* Svelte: This emphasizes leanness and gracefulness.

* Wiry: This suggests a lean and strong frame.

Context matters:

The best word will depend on the context. If you're talking about someone's physique, you might use "toned" or "athletic." If you're describing a sculpture, you might use "sculpted."

Let me know the specific context, and I can help you choose the most fitting word.
